The Training of Children

The loving instruction of a mother
may seem to have been thrown away, but
1t will appear after many days. With
children you must mix gentleness with
frmness. ga man who is learning to
play on trumpet and child are two
very disagreeable companions" If a
mother never has headaches through re-
buking her little children, she shall have
pleaEty Of heartaches when they grow
up.
At the same time mother should not
hamper her children with unnecessary.
foolish restrictions. It is great mistake
to fancy that your boy is made of glass,
and to be always telling him not to do
this, and not to do that, for fear of his
breaking himself On the principle
never give pain unless it is to prevent a
greater pain, you should grant every re-
quest which is at all reasonable, and let
him see that your denial of thing is for
his own good, and not simply to save
trouble; but once having duly settled a
thing hold to it. Unless a child learns
from the first that his mothers yea is yea.
and her nay nay, it will get into the habit
of whining and endeavoring to coax her
out of her refusal, and her authority will
soon be gone.
Happinesr is the natural condition of
every normal child, and if the small boy
Or girl has peculiar facility for any one
thing, it is for self Entertainment; with
certain granted conditions, of course.
One of these is physical freedom, and a
few rude and simple pIaythings. Agree
able occupation is as great necessity for
children as for adults, and beyond this al

real happiness of a child.
II try SO hard to make my children
happy'' said mother with a sigh, one
day, in despair of her efforts. "Stop try
ing" exclaimed practical FRIEND at her
elbow" and do as neighbor of mine
does" "And how is that?" she asked
dolefully." "Why, she simply lets her
children grow and develop naturally, on
ly directing their growth properly. She
has always thrown them, as far as practi-
cal upon their own resources, taught them
to weight upon themselves-no matter
how many servants she had-and to con
struct their own playthings. When she
returns home from an absence they await
but one thing-their mothers kiss
Whatever has been baught for them is be-
slowed when the needed time comes
Nothing exciting is allowed to them at
night, and they go to bed and to sleep in
a wholesome mental state, that insuros
restful slumber. They are taught to love
nature, aud to feel that there is nothing
arrayed SO finely as the lily of the field,
the bees and the butterflies, that there is
nothing so mean as to lie, nor anything
so miserable as disobediance, that it is a
disgrace to be sick, and that good health,
good teeth and good temper come from
plain food, plenty of sleep and being
good" In order to thrive children re
duire certain amount of Getting aIone.''
Supreme faith in the mother, few toys,
no fnery, pain food, no drugs and early
bed are the best things for making
them happy.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

New cloth bonnets in black and colors
are shown by the milliners. They are in
close, narrow shapes, decorated with Jet
or silk balls around the rims and GROVES,
and are sufficiently trimmed with upright
ribbon bows.
With the cold weather the demand for
wooden hosiery increases. Rich, dark
colors will be preferred. Among new
styles are feecy stockings. They have
the nape on tAe outside which gives soft
ness and color, and woClly surface,
though they are of cotton, and their con-
seguent low price is IN their favor.
Hats are less loaded with trimming than
last season. Felt hats are much worn,
and one to match the color of each cos
tune must be had. Feathers, great tufts
of them, dropping toward the left side, a
long one trailing toward the back-are
the favorite trimming. The birds most
fashionable upon these hats are sea swal
lows.
Fedora, Mechlin, and Oriental laces are
the most popular laces used. French
thread and ChantilIy lace will supersede
Spanish for trimming and general use.
White and colored crepe lisse, exquisitely
embroidered with daisies and other flow
ers, will be used at the wrist and throat of
handsome dresses. The canvas ruchings
are not so much used as in the early part
of the season.
The newest fans are of moderate di-
mansions and are of black gauze, mount
ed on ebony sticks, the leaf and stick
being alike set thickly with spangles of
gold and silver, or blue metal, or of red.
The red spangles produce a peculiarly
brilliant effect. For evening wear, white
Grape with ivory sticks spangled with
gold or silver are shown, and also fans of
pale wink or lilac feathers, with the

1t Must be Good Water.
Youths Companion


An artesian well was recently bored at
Columbus, Miss, and the water therefrom
is very cold and possesses rare chemical
properties. city negro, with cup in
his hand, was standing at the well day
or two ago, when a brother from the
country jumped off his wagon and asked
for drink of the celebrated water.
When the colored gentleman from the
country had swallowed the water he
smacked his lips and said:

Even silk wraps are now made imper-

grades used for cloaking. The long, loose
cloak of this style is very fashionable,
and the same shape may be made of

many line with canton flannel, with silk
over this of some bright tint, giving a
much neater effect. The curved upper
edge is gathered the size of the neck aud

DISCRIMINATING RATES.
Danville Business Men Complain
Against Railroad.


Against Railroad.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day
gave a hearing upon complaint of
B. +. Cows and other business
mon of Danville, Va, against the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company Col.
George c. Cabell appeared for the complain
ants, and James T. Worthington for the
railroad. The essence of the complaint is
that the rates to Danville from various
points are proportionately much greater
than to towns with which it competes for
trade, and that they are exorbitant and I'M
reasonable. The railroad, in its rejoinder,
denies any violation Of the interstate
commerce law, and denies that it
has established rates purposely dis
eliminating against Danville. 1t al
mits certain specific allegations, some
of which it justifies, while in respect to
Others it pleads that the Overcharges were
made by mistake, and that the amounts
ovrcharged have been refunded. The com
plainants submitted a member of deposi-
tions IN support of their complaint and the
respondents called general freight agent
Drake to the witness stand in rebuttal The
hearing will be continued tomorrow.

Speaker without opposition from his own
side of the House He attaches very little
Importance to the contest of his seat, based
as 1t is on such scant and flimsy testimony.
He has no doubt that it will be dismissed by
the House on the recommendation of the
Committee on Elections, whether the latter
IS appointed by Representative William D.
Kelley as the Oldest member on the Re
publican side, or elected by a vote of the
House. Mr.. Carlisle will therefore pre-
pare his list of committees between
now and the time that Congress meets, in
order that there may be no delay in getting
to work. He will, of course, bestow most
care on the Committee on Ways and
Means, which will have the most important
work to do this winter He has not yet
finally determined who shall be chairman
Of this committee Mr. Carlisle will talk
with the President and Secretary Fairchild
about their recommendations respecting the
tariff and internal revenue. He is very
hopeful of some satisfactory revenue legis-
lation this winter. He thinks the revenue
reform movement greatly strengthened by
the elections of last Tuesday.

SHOOTING HIS BROTHER.

ing--An Inhunan Act.
CHESTER, PA, Nov. 13.--Frank Congo,
colored, aged 20, is dying at his fathers
house, in Kennett square, from charge of
buckshot, fired into his neck shoulder and
face by his brother Stephen, on Saturday
The shot was fired by Stephen with the
his brother. The two had been to Mount
Cuba, Del On the way back they quar-
relied and came to blows. Steph told Frank
he would shoot him as e0on rs they got
home, and hurried home ahead OF FRANK
He met a mar Nth gun and tried TO Dor
row it, but famed Then he hurried home,
took an old army nusket Of bis fathers aud
loading it with buckshot, started back To
meet bis brother. Frank saw Steph ap-
preaching with the gun, and started back
on run TO reach a house be had passed.
Steph pursued and gained rapidly on his
brother.
When the latter reached the door of ths
house he found it was locked. Before be
could run around the house Steph was
within fifteen feet of him and fred. beveral
of the large shot lodged in Franks neck,
others entered his body at the shoulder
blade, three or four passed through his left
cheek, carrying pieces of flesh with them,
which were found sticking against the
wall inside tbs house, the shot having gone
through a window.
Frank fell 10 the ground and his brother
seeing that he was not dead, exclaimed
THAT didn't finish you, ehs Then Ill go
back homo and load her again, and I'll
blow hole clear through you when | come
back
With that Steph ran back toward his
fathers house. Frank struggled TO his feet
and staggered along toward a neighbor
named Broomal, leaving trail OF blood as
he went. He was so weak when he got there
tbat he fell 10 the 6oor. He rose to his feet
with an effort.
Il am dying" he exclaimed, ''apd want
10 die at home"
He then staggered away, evidently deter
mined to get nome before he died. There
we're no men about to help him. He was
almost home when his sister came running
to meet him.
Don't 60 to the house, she cried; "Steph
has loaded the gun aud IS waiting for you"
With the aid of the girl the wounded ulau
started for Isaac Hazards, quarter Of a
mile away. He was rapidly growing
weaker. When they reached Hazards
fence Franks sister looked around and saw
Steph running after them with the gun.
Frank fell to the ground unconscious. The
girls cries called Hazard to ber and they
succeeded in carrying Frank in the bo,ise
before Steph got near enough to fire. He
looked about the house for awhile and then
went away. Medical aid was summoned
for the wounded man and be was revived,
and subsequently taken home. His vitality
is wonderful. He had at least eleven buck.
shot in his face, neck and shoulder, some Of
them being too deep to be removed. He
was alive at last accounts, but his recovery
is not considered likely.
Steph was arrested on Saturday night.
He was sound asleep in bed Immediately ad.
joining the room where his victim was
lying at the point of death.
